About the bloodhound. She al- ways had wanted one, and hus- band King Donovan located a likely puppy. Puppy grew to the size of a small horse, and it charges through the living room of the Donovan's hillside house like a runaway freight. "The main trouble is with our standard poodle, who has de- cided to kill the bloodhound," says Miss Coca. "They had one encounter on my bed while I was in it, and I was never so frightened in my life. "Now we keep them at oppo- site ends of the house. I'm terri- fied to be here alone with them, for fear they'll get out and I'll be caught in the middle again." Miss Coca seems willing to go along with such a situation, just as she went along with It's About Time, which some critics termed the worst television se- ries of this--and perhaps any-- season. The show concerned two astronauts who crashed the time barrier and landed amid cave men. Reviewers deplored the waste of Miss Coca as a pre- historic crone. Producer Sherwood Achwartz attempted to save the series by switching the time element to "Gone With Wind" Revival Planned Scotland, say it was played in Switzer- land before the Roman soldiers built through England into Scotland. and. denounced club, as sacred to them, THEIR GAMES ALMOST MATCH MEN'S FOR SKILL AND ENDURANCE Who Says Curling Not For Milady?

The game originated on the frozen lochs and streams of so they say. Some "The Great Wall' up Be that as it may, the ad- vent of women into the curling game closely followed the con- clusion of World War II. Prior to that, athletic types on the / distaff side had been content, after concluding their basket- ball, track or softball activities, to spend the winter months at the bowling alleys, playing 5-pins. BOOM FOLLOWED WAR Maybe it was the war years, when women took over men's jobs such as driving trucks, making ammunition, running a business, etc., that sparked the urge for the females to get into some more active sport than bowling. At any rate, curling was flourishing and new clubs starting up found it financially favorable to have both husband and wife interested in the pro- ject. Sporting types, on the female side, welcomed the new sport of curling. Skiing had started its appeal to the female side but curling had its advantages. This game was played in- doors and, to start with, any warm skirt and sweater was adequate garb. Ski jackets and ski pants were often the first popular choice of the "gals" who decided to take up curl- ing. It took the sports cloth- ing manufacturers a few years to realize the available market for special curling togs. Being slim and nimble was an advantage, being athletical- ly inclined or a former parti- cipant in some other sport, was a positive bonus. At first, the women curlers were on suf- frage -- they weren't exactly welcomed. In fact, most clubs, strictly of male membership, shunned the female uprising it as an in- vasion of the privacy of their as the little room marked "MEN", But women, in general, have two great weapons -- tolerance and patience. They were con- tent just to be allowed on the ice -- at first -- they ran their occasional bonspiel under NEW YORK -- The first en- gagements for the 70mm road- show presentation of Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer's screen clas- sic, 'Gone With The Wind', have been announced by Mor- ris E.

RAPID PROGRESS Practice time was limited-- the men begrudged giving up their ice, but it was consider- ed "an old man's game" in those days and there was lots of empty ice time, even if at unusual hours -- and these the gals promptly grabbed. Today, women's curling is almost as skilfull and certainly as demanding as any men's competition. The lady curlers are adroit, they have learned slowly, because they had to take the ice time when they could get it -- but by the same token, they have learned their lessons well. When they started, skirt and sweater was good enough. There is the odd veteran curl- er, even today, who insists on the lady-like dignity of a skirt. Ski clothing was the first sub- stitute but then, as each club activity, tory. commenced _bonspiel Sanitone Certified Master Drycleaner On every drycleaning job, this amazing new cleaning agent floats dirt out, then 434 SIMCOE SOUTH OSHAWA PICKWICK CLEANERS AND SHIRT LAUNDERERS 728-5133 ed in a color-matching pair of slacks and without intricate design.

But "the 1ittle woman' has it made -- whether she serves a TV dinner, via an automatic stove, beans in the pot -- or suggests "hubby" eat fish and chips downtown --_ because "hubby"' has found out that he can get out more often and stay a lot later, if he's "go- ing to the curling club tonight. Wifie enjoys curling so much herself, that she "understands"' why "hubby" likes being there -- and so, we find the perfect solution. And if that doesn't do it -- a couple of 'mixed ibonspiels" clinches it. At least half of the wives of curlers are active in the sport themselves. In former years, the term "Golfer's Widow" was a real threat -- but today, the gals don't buy that business -- they've learned, in the past 20 years -- if you can't lick 'em, join 'em--and 'that's just what they have done. And do you know what? Most of them curl more often, play "lin more bonspiels and in short, are more active in curling and have more fun in the sport than do the men.
